VICTORIA, BC – While there may be some friendly debate over whether or not India Pale Lager is a real beer style, there’s no debating that Eternal Optimist India Pale Lager from Phillips Brewing is real – although based on the label and the provided description, it looks like Phillips is in on the joke:

The flying pig, rumoured to inhabit Cascadia, soars with the grace and style of a small bathtub shot from a cannon. This IPL may be eminently smoother but, as an IPA brewed like a lager, it’s just as rare.

Eternal Optimist IPL is available now at the brewery, and at select bars and liquor retailers in Victoria and Vancouver.
